The Space:
We love our guests’ reviews. Here’s one of our recent favourites:
“The house was magical. Beautifully decorated with thoughtful touches scattered round like fairy dust, transporting you to a world of wonder. The location was fantastic and you could hear the crashing of the waves by night. It helped there were local shops a stones throw away too.” Lew, Aug 2023
Discover the charm of Margate from our vibrant coastal home, perfect for a family or friends’ gathering, group getaway or reunion! This former piano shop has been lovingly renovated to create a spacious holiday home with a unique blend of quirky style, artistic touches, and cosy comfort.
Sleep in one of our colourful bedrooms on comfortable beds snuggled in hotel-quality linen with plenty of throws. Choose from three bathrooms, ensuring there’s never a big queue to wash.
Cook your breakfast on the range in the fully equipped kitchen and sit at the large wooden table or on the comfy sofas to catch up with your loved ones before heading out for the day.
Walk a few minutes to the coast in the morning to grab a specialty coffee at Forts Cafe, then peruse The Lido Stores' art gallery and boutique, and check out the famous Haeckels skincare store. When evening comes, you can hang out in the infamous late-night hangout Bar Nothing, then be home within moments.
Walk the other way up the road and saunter along Northdown Road for a taste of Cliftonville. Visit Cliffs for a stellar breakfast experience, grab a nutritious snack at The Grain Grocer, or check out the family-run Batchelor’s Patisserie for amazing cakes and Skinny Dip for bespoke Bodega sandwiches with coffee.
If you like art, why not take in the latest exhibition at Turner Contemporary on your way into town, then peruse the art galleries in the Old Town, sandwiched between independent boutiques and vintage stores. Eat out at one of the many outstanding restaurants in both Margate and Cliftonville, then spend the evening at one of our cosy pubs or quirky music venues.
When you get home, snuggle up in front of the woodburner in the cozy living room and watch Netflix or play some of our board games. The kids can watch their own programmes in the separate living room downstairs (with its own kitchen). Or stay in for the evening and enjoy a BBQ under the pergola in the secluded walled garden, surrounded by greenery.
Ballarat House is superbly appointed to ensure you have a relaxing, enjoyable and most memorable stay in Margate!
Guest Access:
There is free parking on the street, usually within metres of Ballarat House. If there are no spaces available you can usually find a space on the nearby surrounding streets. Please note that there are a lot of steps into and within Ballarat House. You have private access to the entire building.
The Neighborhood:
Ballarat House is 5 minute’s walk from the famous Turner Contemporary art gallery, the enigmatic Shell Grotto, the Winter Gardens, the newly opened Margate Caves, the Walpole Bay tidal pool, The Libertines’ Albion Rooms and the thriving cafes and shops of trendy Northdown Road. Enjoy a clifftop wander with outstanding views out to sea, particularly the beautiful skies made famous by Turner: the sunsets really are breathtaking.
Walk a few minutes further to visit Margate Main Sands, Dreamland, the bustling Harbour Arm and all that the Old Town has to offer.
Getting Around:
The nearest major international airport is London Gatwick (LGW). From Gatwick Airport, you can travel to Margate by train, bus, or car. The journey by car or train typically takes around 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on traffic and the specific route taken. It is easy to take a cab from the station to Ballarat House.
